Easy homemade applesauce Applesauce is for more than just lunch boxes and sick days - try it with cottage cheese for breakfast, as a spread on a cheese tray, or in place of the oil in baked good recipes. It makes a nice gift, too – people will be IMPRESSED that you did this, but you don’t have to share how easy it was!
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 6 large apples (a blend of varieties works well)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
Bring the water to a boil in a large pan, roughly chop apples (don’t peel them, there are vitamins and fiber in there!), and simmer for 15 minutes. Mash with a potato masher or puree in a blender with spices. Notice what’s NOT on the ingredient list – sugar! You won’t miss it though – homemade applesauce is SWEET, not bland like the grocery store kinds. I used Nittany apples; any other sweet and firm variety would work well too (Braeburn, Honeycrisp, York, Cameo).
